Santa Barraza, a native of Kingsville, Texas, is a contemporary Chicana/Tejana artist and teaches at Texas A&M University at Kingsville. Maria Herrera-Sobek, editor of her book, Santa Barraza: Artist of the Borderlands, describes her artwork as "impregnated with mythic figures and icons expressing a feminist political ideology." She further states that "these political convictions are conveyed through a brightly colored world indicative of a life lived amid the splendors of the Southwest' flora and fauna."
